Western Digital cards and SCO Unix TCP/IP
The current revision cards require a patch to the low-level driver for
the Western Digital Card. The problem is demonstrated when after installing TCP/IP the
card is seen but no external communication is possible. To install the patch permanently
on a machine please do the following:
| cd /etc/conf/pack.d/wdn0 |
|
| /etc/_fst -w Driver.o |
| wdinit_board+74?w c40c |
| $q |
Then rebuild your kernel and reboot the system. This problem is also
known to cause NFS to run very slowly, although NFS should never be installed before SCO
TCP/IP has been tested and shown to connect to other machines.
